truly excellant- when did life become so cheap???
the whole poem was extremely well-written except for the very last line.
i think
"If you do not, your life is a lie"
hmmm....

yes i agree...
what kind of lowly cowards are we?
to accept these blatent atrocities.

i agree- i think the worst sin ( if indeed sin was graded) is compacency.
why should people die because we have been too lazy, to complacent to DO something about it- to change the politics- to lobby against these oil wars....or really any wars fo that matter...

the first victims of economic crisis are always the young, the sick, and the elderly. the same people who suffer in drought, famine, and war. and economics is the warfare of the 21st century. a soldier may offer you mercy, and a cool drink of water, but expect no mercy from a banker, or a faceless stock market who will charge you 20% interest on a drink of water, and sells the bullets that are pointed at your belly - getting cynical in my old age - paul.

Very well done melly...Keep standing!!!...

-------in name of abstract called free choice
they slaughter innocence to take their voice

i couldn't agree more, me and some of my conspiracy awareness classmates had a discussion one this, in fact one is filming a documentary what high school-ers feel about their voices. so its just great to read about it.

--------just who will the next victims be?

this question was also brought up at the discussion, many agreed that it would be the uninformed generations to come.

Thank you and welcome to GP land. Yes I can't wait to see who the next victims will be..We are seemingly voiceless unless we stand together and demand to be heard. Hugs Melly

powerful political poem. and i agree with the moral message. i just dont understand the collective yawn of western civilisation. perhaps we are too busy and stressed, too doped out on shopping and sports, perhaps a combination of the two as well as other factors. who knows? but one think is for sure is that it is not something good and it needs to stop before its too late. or is it already too late?

take care and best wishes

I think we have waited long but is never to late. The thing is that we cry and moan but do nothing else. We need to collectively voice our opinions and demand to be heard.. Hugs Melly Thank you Conor
